If the perimeter of Triangle XYZ is 56 cm, what is the perimeter of Triangle ABC?

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

28 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ABC is obtained by joining the mid points of the sides of triangle XYZ.

So, perimeter of triangle ABC will be equal to half of the perimeter of triangle XYZ.

$P(\triangle ABC) = \frac{1}{2} \times P(\triangle XYZ)$

$P(\triangle ABC) = \frac{1}{2} \times 56$

$P(\triangle ABC) = 28\: cm$

What is the y-intercept of function f?

Andru [333]

Answer:

y intercept = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=5•(1/6)^x

The y intercept is when x =0

Let x =0

f(0)=5•(1/6)^0

= 5* 1 = 5

The y intercept is 5

If the question is

f(x)=5•(1/6)x

although I have never seen the question written this way

The y intercept is when x =0

Let x =0

f(0)=5•(1/6)0

= 5* 0 = 0

The y intercept is 0

Find the ratio in which the line joining the points (2, 4, 16) and (3, 5, -4) is divided by the plane 2x – 3y+ z+ 6 = 0. Also fi

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the plane intersects the join of points in the ratio k:1

let (x,y,z) be the point of intersection.

$x=\frac{3k+2}{k+1} \\y=\frac{5k+4}{k+1} \\z=\frac{-4k+16}{k+1} \\\because ~(x,y,z)~lies~on~the~plane.\\2(\frac{3k+2}{k+1} )-3(\frac{5k+4}{k+1} )+\frac{-4k+16}{k+1} +6=0\\multiply~by~k+1\\2(3k+2)-3(5k+4)+(-4k+16)+6(k+1)=0\\6k+4-15k-12-4k+16+6k+6=0\\-7k+14=0\\k=2\\x=\frac{3*2+2}{2+1} =\frac{8}{3} \\y=\frac{5*2+4}{2+1}= \frac{14}{3} \\z=\frac{-4*2+16}{2+1} =\frac{8}{3}$
